That is a HUGE ripoff. Please don't do it. Even if every piece was broken it could not cost that much.
I never did brakes before and I did mine by myself at night in the middle of winter in an unheated garage.

Im doing my rear drums with some mintex shoes I got from BAT for 40$, I may need new drums but not to sure bout that yet, total bill of maybe 100$ when Im done. Oh and off topic 95gl, if you want a set of fog lights buy em from BAT, brand new and only 15$ a piece.

I paid a little under $200 for both rear drum replacements. That is a HUGE rip-off.

Mine included labor since I didn't have the know-how to do it myself.

I'm in the wrong business, i didd all four brakes on my neighbors car the other day and it only took me like an hour and a half from start to finish. I charged her $40 plus parts it sounds like some of those "mechanics" are making quite a bit more than that, i would have done it for some beer but she insisted on paying me.
